The Ruling on Greeting a Disbeliever with the Salam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on initiating the salam to a disbeliever?

Answer:
It is not permissible; it is forbidden. Do not initiate the salam to the Jews or the Christians. If they greet you, say, “And to you.” Yes.
